Had a kettlebell certification class that didn't teach me a whole lot (not much NETA can teach me after 5+ years at NSS), but it was fun. Cleaned & pressed a 40-lb KB, and also snatched it - pretty cool, don't know if I've ever gone that heavy. Probably could've done more reps with chalk. But it sucked when we were tested on our form at the end, via a Tabata for 25 stupid, stupid minutes. Room was super hot, with no chalk, and it's godddamn amazing no one took a KB to the head. I managed some ring pull-ups when I got home, all singles, just tried to get something. Angry that this class may impact me for a few days. Still, going to get in another 10 miles by Tuesday no matter what!

Fun & Play: Cruising with Jackie. Class. Lunch outside in the shade. Texting with pals. Checking up on my marathoners. Silent night at home to recover.

About Me

And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, "This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!"
And each day, it's up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, "No. This is what's important."
